I'm new at this, so I don't know know that I'm getting all of my facts right. But here's how I understand the facts: Our club goal for Foundation contributions from July 2017 to July 2018 is $5,500. Our total contributions for the year is $3,550 (plus my measly $25.00 contribution today) If I'm reading the reports correctly (which I acknowledge I may not be) the full $3,550 in contributions came from 5 members! Thank you to those 5! I mentioned my measly contribution, because I would like to encourage a whole lot more measly contributions. It took me less than 2 minutes to make my contribution (it was easier than ordering a pizza). So why can't we all take two minutes to make a small (medium or large) contribution? Here's the link: https://www.rotary.org/en/donate. If you need help, give me a call and I'll come over. While you're at it. Go ahead and make that a monthly, quarterly, or yearly contribution. Admittedly, this will add 4-6 seconds to the process, but will save you 2 minutes every month, quarter, or year, plus the headache of remembering. Further, if everybody signs up for monthly, quarterly, or yearly contributions, I won't post stories like this all the time (which I reserve the right to do). Together, we can blow this goal out of the water! As an aside, and without board authorization, I will personally give a pat on the back to anyone who makes a contribution before the end of June. |
